Tax plan would cost Montgomery families up to $1,000

Montgomery County families are facing up to $1,000 in additional taxes and fees as state and local agencies search for new revenue.

Gov. Martin O’Malley has proposed changes to the income tax that would cost 32 percent of Montgomery taxpayers an average $334 more annually, according to state budget analysts from the Department of Legislative Services. O’Malley had said the tax changes, which affect individuals earning at least $100,000, would cost a family of four making $150,000 about $191.
